TRAINING

“Everyday we repair and reassemble machines after failures without studying the root cause. It makes me more aware of what to look for and not accept length of life as the reason for failures.”
Frank Hall
Komatsu

“Presenter has very good knowledge and experience to solve complex problems in a very determined way. He can be a very good mentor for us after workshop activities to enhance our practice.”
Muhammad Asif
Instrumentation Specialist

“I liked the class very much; great examples and great presenter. I never realized how many ways a bolt can break.”
Anthony Demyan
Genentec

“I had no idea how far trouble shooting might need to go. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Thanks for the eye opening experience.”

fAILURE sCENE iNVESTIGATION: FSI [mECHANICAL AND eLECTRICAL]

Who should attend?
For field, technical and engineering personnel who are primarily responsible for determining the causes of equipment, process and human failures, or for providing input on failed parts and general data collection when failure occurs. For those who will be expected to perform RCA in the field. Because of the nature of the content, it is recommended that attendees have an appreciation for the use of computers in engineering applications and an engineering background or equivalent experience.

How long is the training? 3 Days

basic failure analysis training manualJust as in any crime scene, the dissemination of the clues uncovered provides the answers that solve the mystery. This comprehensive 3 day hands-on workshop in analysis verification techniques provides the participants with the skills and knowledge to strategically obtain and interpret the data necessary to solve failure by demonstrating how different analytical tools are used to prove or disprove hypotheses.

Upon completion of this course the participants will be able to develop thorough and accurate data collection strategies that will uncover the order and pattern that lead to failure. Participants will have the ability to recognize different failure patterns and mechanisms and determine what verification techniques are applicable in the context of an overall approach to Root Cause Analysis.

course outline:

This workshop is available in two different formats; Mechanical & Electrical. Below are their respective major topics that are discussed:

Mechanical Failure scene investigation:

Major topics included:

  • NDT Techniques
  • Tribology
  • Fractology
  • Corrosion Types and Mechanisms
  • Human Performance Failure
  • Developing Data Collection Strategies
  • Verification Techniques

 

electrical Failure scene investigation:

Major topics included:

  • Material Failures - insulation and cable failures
  • Rotating Equipment Failures - motors, generators
  • Breakers, Transformers, Switches
  • Sensors, Transmitters, Processors
  • Electronic Equipment
  • Ancillary electrical and I&C equipment

Once the Failure Scene Investigator has determined the root cause(s) of the failure mechanism, he or she is then taught how to write a report that will accurately articulate his or her findings. The final report provides the necessary evidence to obtain the resources needed to implement solutions to proven root cause(s) - effectively convicting the criminal (failure).

These advanced courses are designed for field, technical and engineering personnel who are primarily responsible for determining the causes of equipment, process and human failures, or for providing input on failed parts and general data collection when failure occurs.
